I am running Eclipse C/C++ Indigo with RSE 8.0 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 PC.
I am trying to connect to remote projects on a Solaris 10 Unix server.
I installed and started the rserver version 3.4 Dstore daemon and confirmed it is listening on port 4075.

When I try to connect my connection in RSE I get the following error:
"RSEG1243 Failed to connect to the daemon on hostname using port 4075 with unexpected error".

When I check the daemon process on the Unix server it has spawned a sub-process to run auth.pl to verify my password but it is just hanging.

If you have root access on the server machine, can you try the following?

1) Open a shell and cd to the directory that contains the server scripts
(i.e. wherever auth.pl is)
2) Run the command ./auth.pl <user> / 5555 10000 10000
3) After the script starts, it will wait on stdin. Type your password and
press return.

Do you get the "success" message? Do you see any other messages in the
shell?

Thanks,
Dave

Interesting that the prompts in the .profile cause a hang. We want to run
the profile so that the proper user environment is set up although I'm not
sure how or whether we should automatically handle prompts in the profile.
